439 Airlift Wing Callsigns Utilized
The Wing uses only two distinct callsigns:
** RODD (for many years I though it was ROD, but Al in FL heard the callsign spelled out on a MARS phone patch & I did get official confirmation from the base PAO office)
** REACH (there's a variety of how the callsign is used, sometimes it could be the aircraft's last digits of the tail # and at other times it could be a mission related number. It has been 3 digits, 4 digits, 6 digits, and has also had various prefixes & suffixes assigned.
Additional Ground Base callsigns include:
"Casino Royale" 439 Airlift Wing Command Post
"Westover Base Ops" Base Operations
"Westover Metro" Base Weather/Metro
